BURLINGTON, ON
Run Day is September 15th.
Registration at 8:00 am

It all begins behind the Waterfront Hotel – the path is from the Waterfront Hotel to the canal and back.
Another Annual – the 44th Terry Fox Run for a Cancer Cure.
Burlington has something of Terry Fox in its DNA. There are two memorials about Terry and his run: one is in Thunder Bay where the Run had to be ended. Terry just wasn’t able to continue.
The other is in Spencer Smith Park, west of Spencers’. The creation and set up of the monument was a citizen driven event. Casey Cosgrove, who was lost to cancer, was a part of getting the monument made and placed where it is.
Make a note of the date – we will be talking about it frequently.
